4:24 am

FMitch

4:25 am

Dianne

sprite - how about a wee clue for the ha7?

4:26 am

sprite

ha6/24 - 7/36 is the greek spelling of the he5/14 - 6/24, a crystalline salt

4:26 am

pinkhatlil

please clue the cu7

4:27 am

sprite

for some reason that ha makes me think of blood, but I can be totally mistaken

4:27 am

FMitch

cu7 = wedge shaped

4:27 am

sprite

cu ends in had for dinner

4:28 am

spellit

ha6/24 is a red-brown to blue-black crystalline salt C34H32N4O4FeCl and Ha7/36 is the plural

4:28 am

FMitch

of course it is spellit, lol

4:28 am

sprite

4:28 am

pinkhatlil

hat didn't help sprite

4:29 am

Feeling much brainier now I've ea5/10. In fact, ea5/10 was the first word I saw on returning. Still haven't put the shopping away though. S'pose I'll have to do it in a minute.

carlee -- read my profile, silly. :)

10:02 am

carleekat

ok....nevermind

10:02 am

carleekat

I just did

10:02 am

stidmama

I kept telling him to show his work. He kept saying, no I can just enter it in the calculator... but because he wasn't showing his work he was forgetting the parentheses! Took him AGES to get it.

10:02 am

bichon

anyone have the he 7/8 combo?

10:02 am

lola100

*gives evaN and Anj the mommy look*

EvaN, won't work, Mars bars set my teeth on edge : s

10:03 am

EvaNadine

HE + to rip (swap the vowels around) + vowel
then plural

10:03 am

Psycho_Puppy

he 7 opposite of "homo" sexual + three letter word for a period of time.

Those mistakes crop up all the time. I can usually weed them out over three semesters of calculus. :(

1987 was a HORRIBLE year. It doesn't exist for me. (actually 86 and 88 weren't that great, either)

10:03 am

That always works : )

10:04 am

stidmama

oh man, it's gonna be pretty awful over the next few math years, isn't it? *sigh* maybe I'll take away the fancy calculator and force him to write everything down.

10:04 am

amelu0218

he 7 kinda sounds like the place on the outer banks of N. Carolina that has a lighthouse...

10:04 am

ooh, im a fan of skittles myself!

10:04 am

10:04 am

When I just made him sit and watch me simplify -- writing down each step -- then he knew what he was doing wrong.

10:04 am

thanks carlee

10:04 am

Thanx very much

10:05 am

what does Anj, the skittles or lola? ; )

Fireworks!

10:05 am

riemann

Then take the calculator away. "The calculator is for CHECKING your work AFTER (1) you have done the entire problem AND (2) your answer does not match the back of the book." (Assuming odd # answers are in the back.)

10:05 am

EvaNadine

lola -- if im dangling you WHILE youre holding the skittles, i think thats a sure-thing. ;)

10:06 am

carleekat

woot woot angel <pompom triwling>

periwinkle

me7 please

10:06 am

periwinkle

Yay for Angel

10:06 am

stidmama

yes, odd #s are in the back... which is why the teacher assigns the EVENs! ;-) you'd like him. He's merciless.

10:06 am

stidmama

YAY Angelsong!

10:06 am

stidmama

boys just got on the bus...

10:07 am

riemann

I've told calculus students exactly this. They listen, eventually.

10:07 am

good clue, lola!

10:07 am

Judi

Me7. THAT'S JUST STUPID!

10:07 am

stidmama

he 7 and 8 please?

10:07 am

riemann

Since EVEN #s are assigned, make him do ONE odd problem *of every type* FIRST. (Subject to above rules)

10:08 am

lola100

thanks stid, but i got it from earlier chat : )

10:08 am

EvaNadine

HE 7-8 = HE + to rip (swap the vowels around) + vowel
then plural

10:09 am

Anj

30 to go : s

10:09 am

lola100

mmmm, there are yummy smells coming from downstairs. i think i should go see if mum needs any help, back in a bit : )

10:09 am

Psycho_Puppy

5 to go, and it's always the last ones that are so cleedin' difficult.

10:09 am

stidmama

thanks. I did that to be sure he understood the process, but the dumb calculator made the actual work answers screwy. He was graphing quadratics, and the numbers on either side of the vertex are supposed to be the same as long as they are equidistant... actually, THAT concept was really hard for him!

10:09 am

carleekat

go anj

10:09 am

riemann

BUT the EVEN problems CANNOT be TOUCHED until the ODD one is done PERFECTLY without calculator.

10:09 am

Psycho_Puppy

bleedin'...not cleedin'.

10:09 am

carleekat

go psycho

10:10 am

stidmama

oh sure, lola... bring some back when you return! :-)

10:10 am

stidmama

oho! i see... yes, I think that makes good sense. We will do that when he has another assignment. He's going to be mad though -- can I have you talk to him when it happens?

10:11 am

carleekat

( I wish that policy could be used riemann..but here... in canada...they start them on calculators in grade 2 ..I refused until grade 7 to get one for my kids...and I ended up goin gto the board office with paperwork signing a waiver )

10:11 am

riemann

Sure, Stid. The phone's open.

10:12 am

stidmama

actually, for this kid carlee the calculator is useful during school time. He has waivers for handwriting, and the calculator really does make it better/faster.

10:12 am

stidmama

btw, said stidkid was also saying "Uncle R should see if Evergreen needs a math professor" ;-) I told him I thought you already had apps in everywhere there was a hint of an opening...

10:12 am

riemann

Carlee, there's a similar movement here in the US. I teach college math, but how do you teach long division of polynomials when the students can't do long division of integers?

10:13 am

riemann

(At last check, Evergreen is fully staffed for 2007-08)

10:13 am

carleekat

( they don't continue into college they go into the trades...join unions and don't get me going any further )

10:13 am

yep. figures, doesn't it? still, 'twould be lovely to have you close by!

10:15 am

periwinkle

1st ra5/12 please

10:15 am

stidmama

I told my 5th grade math teacher, whose idea of "fun" was long division. All year long. Because we were "advanced." That it was stupid to drill so much because we would all have calculators. She didn't believe me. I hated math (though I was good in it) ever after... If only we'd had something fun like story problems or set theory or something!

while our school curriculum is interesting -lots of puzzles, word problems, games and higher level t hinking

10:18 am

I may have nightmares after that video.

10:38 am

carleekat

there is no accountability for teachers...they are paid 6 figures after 5 years teaching ( or darn close ) and complain about putting in more then 5 hours/ day ( and I am from a family of teachers..i know how much "prep" time required )

10:39 am

Anj

*slow dances with Lola* } )

10:39 am

carleekat

up until 5 years ago there was no standardized curriculum..so was up to board...and often time the school to set curriculumn

10:39 am

stidmama

ON? either one?

10:40 am

lola100

mmmmmm : )

10:40 am

carleekat

2nd is a compound word

10:40 am

petemcb

carleekat, I work in a pretty well-to-do public school district and don't work with anyone making 6 figures after five years of teaching....or anywhere near that. I also don't know anyone putting in "five hours a day" and complaining about that. Where is your frame of reference coming from? I want to work there.

10:40 am

stidmama

aha! thanks for that one carlee

10:40 am

carleekat

first reminds me of a drug from poppies ( not....but reminds me of it)

10:41 am

Depending on the amount of grading involved, teaching five classes can be a LOT of work. (Publishers are working on ways for students to submit homework online, and be automatically graded.)

10:41 am

I have a cousin teaching in Kingston, Ontario, working her butt off and has been for about 5 or 6 years. She's making in the 40's and loves what she does. No six figures there or anywhere near her.

10:44 am

carleekat

my father and my stepmother and my aunt..retired making close to 200/ year and pete...your cousin will be in next 6 years...the board is striving to reach a 70% litteray rate by grade 10 across the province..now..would anyone buy a car that only starts 70% of the time....but its ok if only 70% of kids in next 5 years reaches that rate....right now I believe is about 65%

10:45 am

carleekat

and in the latest contract negotiation with provincial gov't they seeing a raise...that those that have been teaching about as long as ur cousin... will be making very high 60's 70's in next 5 years...

3:30 pm

Nancy Boy

oh, so you've seen L...? that ruined the series for me! I just can't watch any more.

3:30 pm

Aww. You should see Near. He's younger than L, and he's about the same in...oddness, except instead of sweets he uses hand puppets. lol

carleekat

3:33 pm

Zwee

He might very well have Asperger's, like L...except Near has a more mild version of it.

3:33 pm

Nancy Boy

Hm...but so was L.
I tell you, it'll take me so long to get over that. He's just...
L had Asperger's Syndrome?

3:34 pm

Zwee

It's kind of obvious, really. :/ The way he talks to people, and acts?

3:34 pm

Nancy Boy

Hm. I see what you mean, but I think I just put him as an eccentric...

3:35 pm

Mary

got the sn7, its the glass you drink brandy from

3:36 pm

Zwee

Hehe. So did I, at first, until a friend pointed out that it's very well possible he does have it. Asperger's people tend to focus on one thing that they excel at...L's was solving cases others couldn't.

3:36 pm

Nancy Boy

And eating unlimited amounts of sugar <3

3:37 pm

Zwee

Haha. That too.

3:37 pm

Nancy Boy

Mind you, I've also got a soft spot for Ryuk...:)

Oh god. XD Ryuk is -hilarious.-

3:38 pm

Nancy Boy

<giggles> ISN'T he though?? I thought he'd be evil at first, but he's just incredible...

3:39 pm

Zwee

Some people get paid in peanuts, Ryuk gets paid in apples. XD

3:40 pm
